It goes down as an interception for Keenum. But the quarterback couldn’t have done anything else. This play was simply amazing.
It would have been a fantastic play if Murray had simply broken the pass up. But getting his arm, followed by the rest of his body, in there to make the play was just outstanding. To make matters even better, he managed to get down in bounds before falling out.
